Whereas, Gaylord Donnelley of Colleton County died Sunday, April 19, 1992, at his home on Ashepoo Plantation at the age of eighty-one; and
Whereas, Mr. Donnelley's donations of lands in the Lowcountry sparked the ACE Basin initiative in South Carolina; and
Whereas, he was one of the leading conservationists in the nation and an outstanding individual in many ways; and
Whereas, since 1986, he had donated nearly six thousand six hundred acres to the ACE Basin preserve and placed permanent conservation easements on the rest of Ashepoo Plantation -- nearly ten thousand acres; and
Whereas, we want the members of his family and his friends to know that they are uppermost in our thoughts and have our deepest sympathy. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, express sorrow at the death of Gaylord Donnelley of Colleton County and extend sympathy to his family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the family of Mr. Donnelley.
